Dubai: Today, the weather across the UAE is characterised by persistent heat and humidity, maintaining the weather pattern we’ve seen over the past few days. As reported by the National Center of Meteorology (NCM), residents should prepare for another scorching day, with temperatures expected to hover around the 44°C to 48°C mark in various areas.

The weather forecast indicates a predominantly fair condition across the region. In the coastal areas and islands, temperatures will range from 40 to 45 degrees Celsius, while the internal regions will experience slightly warmer temperatures between 44 and 48 degrees. The mountain regions, on the other hand, will be cooler, with temperatures dipping to 35 degrees at night.

As night falls and into Tuesday morning, humidity levels are expected to rise, creating a likelihood of fog or mist in some coastal regions. Winds will be gentle to moderate, blowing at speeds of 10 to 20 kilometers per hour, occasionally reaching up to 30 kilometers per hour, and shifting between the southwesterly and northwesterly directions.

The Arabian Gulf and the Oman Sea will remain relatively calm, with sea conditions classified as slight, making it a pleasant time for maritime activities.
